A Glendon eAmbassador blog.

Your Illustrious Author

Hello/bonjour/aniin! My name is Sienna Warecki, and I’m a 5th year student of Linguistics and Language Studies at Glendon Campus. Originally from Richmond Hill, ON, I’ve lived in residence for four years of my schooling–now in my fifth and final year, I’m finally experiencing life as a commuting student!

I’ve been sticking my nose in Glendon’s business in multiple ways since first year:

As a self-professed multipotentialite, I have a never-ending list of passions and projects. A few of my current interests include: holistic medicine, music, circus arts (currently taking a course in aerial silks!), language studies, and storytelling in all of its forms. In my daily life I do my best to embody the five yamas of yoga: ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truthfulness), asteya (abundance), brahmacharya (continence/discipline), and aparigraha (non-coveting/self-reliance). My ultimate goal is to use my art and my writing to foster compassionate culture in the wider world.

I speak English et français,and I’ve picked up and put down (and yearn to relearn) several other languages, including Japanese, Spanish, Serbian, and Ojibwe/Anishinaabemowin. (NB: if you speak any of these, I’m always looking for language partners!)

I’m a writer down to the marrow, so when I’m not blogging here I’m probably writing my novel or composing poetry and short stories (which you just might hear in person if you attend one of Glendon’s open mic nights!) I’ve also been drawing since I was about 3 years old; these days you’ll rarely see me without my sketchbook in-hand. Three summers ago I earned my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, and you’ll catch me at the GAC or in the caf’ or pretty much anywhere practicing my asanas. Last but certainly not least, I’m in a long-distance relationship with my hilarious, compassionate, and all-around excellent partner Avi, who is as good a poet as they are a person.
